How Secure Is My Password?
These modules are written using PureScript and then transpiled into JavaScript. You do not need to know PureScript to use the built versions of the code as it functions as a standard JS library.
Usage
Using ES6 modules:
// import the hsimp-purescript module
import setup from "hsimp-purescript";
// the english version of the dictionaries
// feel free to use your own dictionaries, just make sure they have the same format
import charactersSets from "hsimp-purescript/dictionaries/characters-sets";
import periods from "hsimp-purescript/dictionaries/periods";
import namedNumbers from "hsimp-purescript/dictionaries/named-numbers";
import dictionary from "hsimp-purescript/dictionaries/top10k";
import patterns from "hsimp-purescript/dictionaries/patterns";
import messages from "hsimp-purescript/dictionaries/checks";
// create the hsimp function
// if passed valid config, setup will return a function
const hsimp = setup({
calculation: {
// the number of calculations per-second
calcs: 40e9,
// characters sets to check
characterSets,
},
time: {
// a list of how long each period is in seconds
periods,
// a list of named numbers
namedNumbers,
// if the amount of time it will take gets ridiculous, what should be displayed
forever: "Forever",
// if the amount of time is basically immediate, what should be displayed
instantly: "Instantly",
},
checks: {
// a list of common passwords
dictionary,
// a list of patterns to check
patterns,
// the messages to display for each check
messages,
},
});
// to run
const result = hsimp("HowSecureIsMyPassword?");
You will get back an object with the following structure:
{
// how long it would take to crack the password as a human readable string
time: "42 minutes",
// the highest level of check (e.g. insecure, warning, notice - see below)
level: "notice",
// the checks - in level of importance
checks: [
{
name: "Character Variety: No Symbols",
message: "Your password only contains numbers and letters. Adding a symbol can make your password more secure. Don\'t forget you can often use spaces in passwords.",
level: "notice",
},
// ...and so on
]
}
See dist/test.js
for a fully working version of the code in Node.
Levels
There are five levels:
insecure
: a really bad password, probably very commonwarning
: might be ok, but things to be aware ofeaster-egg
: they've found something sillynotice
: nothing majorachievement
: something to be proud of
Building
To build the code you'll require pulp
. Then just run make
. However, the latest build should always be available in the dist
directory.
